Indoor Water Fountains

Most of us are already familiar with the amount of class a large indoor water fountain can add to just about any home. However, most of us have never asked ourselves whether we could enhance the level of class that indoor water fountains bestow on our home. Below we will be exploring the use of plants in large indoor water fountains. Much of this information is also applicable to smaller indoor water fountains.

I always seem to encounter owners of both indoor and outdoor water fountains who are a bit wary about adding plants to their fountains. I find this anything but unusual. Many of us know that the majority of plants are not capable of surviving in a water-only environment. Thus, many fountain owners, such as the ones I’ve described above, are perfectly justified (for the time being) in refraining from putting plants in their fountains.

The fact is that plants CAN be added to indoor (and outdoor) water fountains. While you shouldn’t expect a laundry list of candidates, there are some lucrative options that can fit almost anyone’s bill. First on the list of contenders are spider plants, foliage like plants that grow very quickly with little hassle. Most people who’ve used spider plants in their large indoor water fountains have reported fantastic results. Just be sure to give the plants something to grip onto, such as the rock on your fountain.

Some alternative choices aside from spider plants include jew plants, potho plants, and of course bamboo (lucrative for those who would like their plant to grow vertically as opposed to all directions). For more information on these plants, it would be best to consult your local nursery. An employee there should be able to provide you with a bit more information on these plants and others which are ideal for a large indoor fountain application.
